[cometblaster2070]

you think glinda sees dorothy and ozma interacting and yk she sees how much they like each other and she's like "ohhhh wait a damn minute WAIT".

she grabs ozma by the shoulders and she's like you hold onto that girl you hold onto her tight and don't ever let go and don't you reject her offer to fly off into the sunset and fight against a tyrannical ruler and ozma's like wasn't planning to do all that but thanks anyways :DDD.

she sees them being all cutesy and in love together and then she's just like

An idea about RWBY

Okay, but...

What if Maidens didn't have to die in order to transfer their powers? What if they could grant others the magic and still live?

I mean, think about it. Oz gave the Branwen twins their bird-form magic and didn't die. And everything we think we know about the Maidens came from him. Who's to say there's ANY truth to it? Oz has been wrong about so much before (And by that I mean EVERYTHING) that I wonder. And let's face it, this whole 'Have to die to preserve the power' thing has got to stop.

[strqyr]

ozma projecting onto salem, saying all she craves now is death, is incredibly heartbreaking bc you just know he has thought of it before.

like... 'the story of seasons' is just that, a story, but no doubt there's some truth to it. and when you think about how the relics are kept in four different vaults, most likely not only made by the god of light but also made to only be opened by ozma, meaning he is The Key, he is just one man and he's able to get hold of everything he needs to summon the gods and end the world.

he's alone. he's depressed. he alone carries a horrible burden on his shoulders put there by a god. the intrusive thoughts must have been terrifying.

so he gives his blessings—creation, knowledge, destruction, choice; the ones that very likely connect him to the vaults—, the sole responsibility that was unfairly his, and gives them to four other people, one each, spreading the burden a little, and removing himself completely out of it bc he no longer trust himself with it.

they're not really maidens of seasons, after all—it's a naming convention for sure, but the realms inside the vaults don't exactly match—, but i suppose ozma needed a cover story to hide what exact magic of his he gave away.

The Magic Cloak of Oz 1914

[poppies-from-oz]

I love the way John R Neill draws The Wizard bc it’s pretty clear he doesn’t buy his whole “redemption” at all and pretty much always draws him in shifty evil bastard mode.

[just-some-guy-at-shiz]

I need an AU where Tibbett is actually Tip. Ozma Tippetarius. Because tHE NAMES ARE TOO SIMILAR.

The ages seem to line up right. Either someone close to the royal family stole away the true heir before they could be assassinated and changed them to hide them, or the Wizard wasn’t yet ruthless enough to kill the kid and ordered them hidden instead, effectively just a normal person now. Living in the Emerald City they were supposed to rule.

This AU kind of relies on Tibbett not dying tragically, so let’s fix that, shall we? I dunno if Tibbett somehow becomes the head of a new revolution or something, dunno what this discovery means on a grander scale… I’m mostly interested in the smaller personal stuff.

Does this suddenly make it clear to Tibbett why he experiments so much with gender presentation? In a decidedly trying to figure himself out way? Does this discovery clarify how he sees himself, gender affirming-ly? Like, is he genderfluid? Or trans, in a was-supposed-to-be-cis-but-stuff-happened sort of way? Double trans? Crope says, “Does this make me bi now??”

Trans Tibbett says “I’m a woman, I was just born in the wrong body,” but then she finds out that she actually was born in the body she wanted, but SOMEbody RUINED IT for her.

If Oz is still Ozma and weapons are an extension of ourselves as per what Ruby said, then why did he change from a scepter/staff to a cane 🤔 one of these things has to be wrong and I don't think it's the second one

[st-whalefall]

Yeah disclaimer for all the shapeshifting fun, I actually think Oscar nonchalantly using that kind of magic is OOC (if it is an ability Oscar has explicitly through his access to Ozma’s magic).

In mountain king, that’s why Oscar’s solution to the parasite is novel and ingenious, but treated with gravity because in choosing to solve the problem the way he does, Oscar is taking a Risk. The same risk, and indeed consequential Harm, that comes with using an ounce of Ozma’s magic every time. Further erosion of the self.

And uh that’s why I had to remove Shelter from mountain king because it do not make sense for my characterization of Oscar.

Regarding RWBY

Auras and Semblances are... interesting, namewise. A semblance implies that they are instead of something, in this case magic.

But the second set of humanity and the Faunus, both, didn't actually have access to magic. So why would they call them semblances on their own? How would they know what they're missing?

The fact they can use their aura or souls as shields is also interesting because, again... something doesn't feel right. I don't think either developed alone.

But someone awoke in a world surrounded by monsters, with people who could not truly fight back or protect themselves. With faunus in cages and people dying left and right. They were given a mission to unite humanity, how can that happen if everybody dies?

Ozma's magic is weakening, but there's no explainable cause? This might be that cause. I think anyone's might be, if they gave out a tiny piece of it to every human and faunus on Remnant. The maidens got a lot, yes. But everybody got a tiny portion. Might even be why aura is unlocked through a prayer... Ozma thought it was going to the GOL. It wasn't.

Whether that will have any real effect on uniting humanity is another matter. Ozpin and probably several previous versions wouldn't tell anyone, since even that would never feel like enough.

But would Oscar, once he realises why? Why his magic works like an overpowered version of an Aura and a Semblance... and what that means?

What Ozma did to try to help humanity save themselves weakened him, is still weakening him.

But may have saved them all.
